Dominican Jeison Rosario was named Boxer of the Month by the World Boxing Association (WBA) in January, while Uzbekistan’s Murodjon Akhmadaliev won the honorary mention, thanks to both fighters’ victories.

The monthly rankings of the pioneer boxing  organization have already been published, and with them the awards of the period. Rosario takes the highest honors thanks to its excellent victory last January 18 against American Julian Williams.

The Quisqueyan broke all predictions with a brilliant performance that defined the American by technical knockout in the fifth round. Now, Rosario appears in the discussion to face the super welterweight best fighters to defend his Super Championship.

Por su parte, Akhmadaliev también tuvo una gran actuación como retador apenas este jueves en la noche y derrotó a Daniel Roman por decisión dividida para quedarse con el Súper Campeonato en la división súper gallo. El nativo de Uzbekistan, que cuenta con 25 años, sacó a relucir toda su fuerza y su velocidad para resolver un pleito bastante complicado ante un sólido campeón que iba a su quinta exhibición de la faja negro y oro.

“MJ” looks like one of the most fearsome fighters in the 122-pound division and is undefeated in eight fights, with six knockouts.In addition to the awards, the WBA has already published the rankings for each category and can be found on the WBA website in the corresponding section.
